Child of the Wind

You rest behind my eyes, I know your face. It is always on my mind, but who are you? I see you, feel you, but still I do not know you. We have journied many miles. Your beginnings, my pain. My pain, your beginnings. Happiness blows through. Sorry you do not keep the kind. A Mother wants her child, to feel no pain. It is her heart, from life travels, can't be the same. Life is what we have. We have to try. My child, I cannot say good-bye. All the years I've tried to be strong, I am getting weak, but for you, I hang on. Please take the good, and run with it. Life will fall in place someday. God please show your light. Guide my child on a path right.

Bountiful, individually unique and open ... Truth upheld within God's wondrous hand of hope, affecting a genuine goodness, carried in peace, at rest amid an immaculate faith. An endearing effort ... I have been blessed! Love: ~ James ~
